Did you accidentally enable the “Zoom” mode on your Android and now your screen is stuck enlarged and appears too big in size? I have found myself stuck in this mode numerous times. Here’s how to fix it.
Exit Zoomed Mode
You can exit the zoomed screen the same way you enter it, by rapidly triple tapping the screen with one finger.
Disable Magnification Gesture
Prevent your Android from zooming the screen by triple tapping using these steps.
- Open “Settings“.
- Select “Accessibility“.
- Choose “Vision“.
- Scroll down and select “Magnification gestures“.
- Set the slider at the upper-right part of the screen to “Off“.

tech guy told me to tap three times and I’d be back in Kansas. No seriously, I wasn’t tapping fast enough. Problem solved thanks for responding :)

Can you hold “Power” and “Volume Down” to force a restart?
Jim Dallas says
Using a Bush Spira b5.5. Screen starts in zoomed mode, tapping 3 times does nothing. Holding the power button brings up option to restart or power off, but I cannot reach the part of the screen that has the ‘enter’ option, because I can only see part of the box. Of course I can’t reboot the phone because the battery is warranty sealed, irreplacable so I’m told.. Any ideas?

Go to settings, display, then full screen apps. Turn full screen off for clash Royal and you will be all good.!
